A few useful notices.

What Linkorune teaches, and how the game economy works.

A learning simulation

Linkorune teaches selected networking concepts through fictional adventures and bounded simulations. Commands, timing and supported features can differ from real equipment. Use real systems only with authorization and suitable training. Never enter real credentials or confidential configurations into the game.

Progress, levels and victories are game achievements. They do not award certification, guarantee an exam pass or establish complete exam-topic coverage.

An independent game

Linkorune is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Cisco. Cisco and CCNA are trademarks or registered trademarks of Cisco and/or its affiliates. References identify the subject being studied.

The planned first release

The first release is planned as a one-time paid App Store download, with no ads, subscriptions or in-app purchases. The exact download price has not yet been chosen. The App Store listing must show it before purchase. No purchase or download is offered on this website.

Gold and cosmetic coins are earned through play, have no cash value and cannot be redeemed or transferred for money. Hints, recovery and mission retries do not require payment inside the game.

Apple purchases and licensing

For Apple-billed purchases, refund eligibility is reviewed by Apple and depends on the purchase, region and applicable consumer rights. A refund is not guaranteed. See Apple’s refund instructions.

The App Store listing identifies the app’s license. Apple’s standard app license applies when a custom license is not supplied. See the Apple standard end-user license. The final listing will identify the actual license. These notices do not remove applicable consumer rights or replace open-source licenses. Software notices are available in the game’s Credits & Licenses reader.
